In computer vision applications, mobile devices can transfer the inference of Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) to the cloud due to their computational restrictions. Nevertheless, besides introducing more network load concerning the cloud, this approach can make unfeasible applications that require low latency. A possible solution is to use CNNs with early exits at the network edge. These CNNs can pre-classify part of the samples in the intermediate layers based on a confidence criterion. Hence, the device sends to the cloud only samples that have not been satisfactorily classified. This work evaluates the performance of these CNNs at the computational edge, considering an object detection application. For this, we employ a MobiletNetV2 with early exits. The experiments show that the early classification can reduce the data load and the inference time without imposing losses to the application performance.

The image classification is a classical problem of image processing, computer vision and machine learning fields. In this paper we study the image classification using deep learning. We use AlexNet architecture with convolutional neural networks for this purpose. Four test images are selected from the ImageNet database for the classification purpose. We cropped the images for various portion areas and conducted experiments. The results show the effectiveness of deep learning based image classification using AlexNet.

AbstractDeep learning is nowadays at the forefront of artificial intelligence. More precisely, the use of convolutional neural networks has drastically improved the learning capabilities of computer vision applications, being able to directly consider raw data without any prior feature extraction. Advanced methods in the machine learning field, such as adaptive momentum algorithms or dropout regularization, have dramatically improved the convolutional neural networks predicting ability, outperforming that of conventional fully connected neural networks. This work summarizes, in an intended didactic way, the main aspects of these cutting-edge techniques from a medical imaging perspective.

Plant disease is an ongoing challenge for smallholder farmers, which threatens income and food security. The recent revolution in smartphone penetration and computer vision models has created an opportunity for image classification in agriculture. The project focuses on providing the data relating to the pesticide/insecticide and therefore the quantity of pesticide/insecticide to be used for associate degree unhealthy crop. The user, is that the farmer clicks an image of the crop and uploads it to the server via the humanoid application. When uploading the image the farmer gets associate degree distinctive ID displayed on his application screen. The farmer must create note of that ID since that ID must be utilized by the farmer later to retrieve the message when a minute. The uploaded image is then processed by Convolutional Neural Networks. Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) are considered state-of-the-art in image recognition and offer the ability to provide a prompt and definite diagnosis. Then the result consisting of the malady name and therefore the affected space is retrieved. This result's then uploaded into the message table within the server. Currently the Farmer are going to be ready to retrieve the whole info during a respectable format by coming into the distinctive ID he had received within the Application.
